A new year a new thread to track the box office over 2015.

Week 5

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water crushed expectations on Friday, while Jupiter Ascending and Seventh Son bombed.

The adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon TV show opened to an estimated $15.1 million yesterday. In comparison, the first SpongeBob movie earned $9.6 million on its first Friday nearly a decade ago.

Playing at 3,181 locations, Jupiter Ascending opened in second place on Friday with an estimated $6.4 million. That's significantly lower than recent sci-fi movies like Elysium ($11.1 million) and Edge of Tomorrow ($10.6 million).

It's also barely above legendary Wachowski bomb Speed Racer, which opened to $6.2 million back in May 2008. For the weekend, Jupiter Ascending will likely wind up between $17 and $19 million.

Weekend Projections
1. SpongeBob - $55 million
2. American Sniper - $24 million
3. Jupiter Ascending - $18 million
4. Seventh Son - $6.5 million

I can see The Hobbit hitting $280 million by the end of its run, maybe close to or more than $300 million.

$280M sounds about right tbh, I wanted to love the first one but it was just to slow for me so I didn't watch the sequels

hm. well we'll see if this thread will be kicking when 50 Shades comes out, that'll be fun!

Well, this week is kind of a recovery weekend for everyone. But it should go back to schedule by next week or so.

The Hobbit slaying this season. I'm surprised about Annie and Into The Woods since it had a lot of promo. I'm thinking it's doing solid.

Thoughts on 2014's biggest (domestic) earner.. will GOTG maintain it's lead as #1 or will Mockingjay snatch?

You should watch the sequels, they've improved a lot from the first one.
